EDITOR CRIrIo: In the RepuJiicaR OF
March Is appears bali column editorial,
entitled Bumps on the skull,n concern
ing which desire to make few remarks.
With due respect to the "bumptiousn edi-
tor, would advise him not to again a.
tempt to write pseudo scientific pa. er
without acquiring at first at least an on =
line knowledge OF the subject. lie says
"each moral, emotional and intellectual
quality is supposed by Professor Fowler
and his disciples to bu represented on II @
outside Of what we are pleased to call our
heads, by some corresponding protuber-
auCe.n
That this Is common idea, | admit, but
deny 1t to he the opinion Of the educated
disciples Of phrenology. Had the editor Of
the RtpuGiiclH had his head examined by q
professional phrenologist, or had he taken
time to read up the subject, he would not
! think, have made such an egregiOu
blunder. lie would then have known tina
character, etc, is not determined by
bumps, for they are seldom seen and are
only noticeable as bumps, when the Or
gans located around those that are large
are undeyeloped.
The phreDologist believes that the varl-
Gus faculties Of the mimi radiate from
what might be called the origin OF the
brain, Just over the medula oblongata. II a
probe were passed through the head from
ear to ear, 1t would pierce this centre, and
therefore he determined the size of differ
ent organs by measuring from the ear 10
the points where observation and expe,i
ence have shown these organs to find egress
or expression. Measurements are taken
from IN thn f.lr.hnol ON
back Of the head, at various intervals be-
tween these points, &c. The shape OF the
head as to circumference Is then ascer.
taiped much as a halter measures for hat,
and the siZe or prepoBderaDGe OF certain
faculties over others determined solely By
the distance from the centres iu the me
dulla to the external poitlon OF the brain.
lie also remarksx There is vacuum
Of almost half anincH under the skull"
II would not be surprising II post-mor
TEN should show that such u "vacnumh eN
isted in the head Of the writer, but with
mankind generally such is not the case
! The cranial cavities Of some may have little
| brain substance contained therein, or even

There Is one torpedo tube through the
bow, another through the stern, and
one on each side, so her range CON
mands all points Of attack. She
also carries 4.inch 2j-hundred-
weight central pivoted breech loader,
and her makers claim that with this
they can penetrate eight inches of the
best armour on any vessel ailoat. Steel
screens protect the gunners, and above
the bridge is an immense electric light.
She also carries o 3.pounder Ho,clkiss
quick firing guns. In addition to all
this, her speed has been made TO aver.
age nineteen knots over considerable
run. So with armored sides, pivot guns
and torpedocs for defense and destruc.

prey and a proved capacity to cross the
ocean almost as quickly as the fastest
steamships, the Ita,tlesnake seems to
realize the widest dreams of destructive
power. This is only the frs, of class

authorities may well feel called on to

There was large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Columbia Boat Club
last night. All or nearly all of our
local oarsmen and amateur athletes
were present to give their aid in the
clubs new project. The new club
house TO be built on Fifteenth street,
at the junction of Ohio avenue aud ID
street, was fully discussed and the
plans of several architects laid before
the club for consideration.
No definite action could be taken,
however, as the constitution requires
three days to elapse before the old or
ganiza,ion can go out Of existence. The
9th of April was set for the next meet.
ing, when the election of officers of the
new club will be attended to. Tue
name decided upon is the Colum.

Perry is most enthusiastic over the
project, and, in fact, 1t Is largely
due TO his efforts that this scheme has
been so successful. He was seen to.
day, and said that the new club house
would favorably compare with the
famous New York Club House, of
which so much has been said and
written.
